Chrysantha or Sunshine 
First Gold Medal

believed originated in Australia, this 
valuable addition is distinctly different 
in flower form. It has wide petals, 
loosely arranged, incurved at center 
and reflexed at edges, somewhat like a 
chrysanthemum. Flowers four inches 
across are clear buttercup yellow on 
long stems for cutting; about thirty 
inches tall. Packet, 50c 
Canterbury Bell, Liberty Bell

nual Canterbury Bell, blooming in six 
months from seed. A decided improve¬ 
ment over the popular biennial form, 
though blooms may not be quite as 
large. About two feet tall, with about 
six spikes of flowers. Brings spring 
into the fall garden. Packet, 25c 
Aster, Los Angeles 
Award of Merit. A new Super Giant 
type, three feet tall with exceptionally 
large flowers. The color is a serenely 
pure shell pink. The flowers are full 
petaled, deep and artistic, with feath¬ 
ery interlacing petals. Packet, 25c 
Aster—Silvery Rose 
This is a fine long stemmed variety 
of true peony flowered type, with im¬ 
mense flowers of deep lavender pink, 
which darken as they age leaving the

variety. Packet, 25c 
Marigold, Dwarf Monarch 
Award of Merit, Dwarf French double 
type, one foot high, with mixed com¬ 
binations of orange, yellow and ma¬ 
hogany flowers. The stock is uniform¬

der or edging plant where these colors 
may be used. Packet, 35c 
LINARIA 
Fairy Bouquet 
Third Gold Medal

ding, edging, window boxes, pots and 
rock gardens. Packet, 25c

the giant type, a clear light blue. It

new strain comes practically 100 per 
cent double and semi-double, about 60

flowers. Colors are striking within 
their range, and both germination and 
vigor are the best that were found in 
its type. Packet, 35c
